It being in the month of October,
To Cork I was going my way.
All nature seemed dreary and lonely,
No creature I noticed that day.

As she sat down sewing in the shade.
By the lovely sweet village of Coachford,
And the sweet shady groves of Clontead.

In a customary motion of grace.

Most frankly I told her my case.
I said of she'd make me her own love,
She need not hence forth be afraid.
My bride I will make you in Coachford,
By the sweet shady groves of Clontead.
